Summary

Everything's in meltdown this week as we immerse ourselves in Sky Atlantic's gruellingly excellent Chernobyl, delve into the Deep State for Season 2 of Fox's espionage thriller, and do away with all the adults in Netflix's The Society. Plus we get into a big old fight about the fourth episode of Game Of Thrones, which once again gets the Thronesplaining spoiler treatment at the end of the episode. Not seen it? Then skip everything between 01:12:02 and 01:47:56.
